Not sure if it's the sony drivers, but I have had success (in the past 30
seconds that I just tested it) by:
1. Disconnect network drive
2. Connect camera
3. In "Disk Management" snapin, right click the volume on the USB disk, and
choose "Change drive letter"
4. Change the letter to one that is unused
5. "Eject" the camera and disconnect it
6. Reconnect network drive
Now this drive, every time it is connected, takes the letter I gave it, not
the letter that is next in line.
BTW, I used a Maxtor 5000XT 250gb external drive to test this, so YMMV.

Subject: [windows2000] OT: USB Digital Camera connecting to F: Drive.
We have a number of XP Professional PC's, and a number of Sony Cypershot
Cameras. The situation we have is the PC's in question have drive letters
C-E used up for local drives/CD-Writers/etc and F and H used for network
shares.
The problem is when the camera is connected to the USB port, it
automatically tries to connect it to F: drive, which as this is in use by
the network drive doesn't work. If you disconnect the network drive first
is works fine. The short-term solution was to setup a couple of batch files
on the desktop; one that disconnects the drive and another that reconnects
it.
Some of the users are now complaining that this is too much of a pain,
specially when they want to download the images to the network drive in
question. They have to copy them locally, reconnect the share and move them
across, rather than copying them direct.
I have had a look and can't see how, or see if it even possible, to change
it so the camera automatially connects to the G: drive which is not used.
It is not an option to change the drive letter for the network share from F:
as this is company wide share that everyone has access to.
Thanks for any insight into this,
